Grown men following and taking cues from "influencers" is funny, and always will be.

But in terms of listening to experts about relevant topics, I can see why people would listen to a Special Ops soldier about war and military matters.

I don’t think you realize the amount of people who don’t have any real male figures in their lives.

A breh I went to boot camp with ended up becoming a seal. I chilled with him and his seal buddies a couple of times at his house. Watching football and shyt.

They were all mad cool but…. They were dangerous. One time I came over and my breh told me to just come in when I come over. I came down the basement steps to his man cave and him and his seal brehs were down there already.

Apparently they were having a serious discussion about some dirt they did before and I half ass startled them when I popped up. Them dudes turned to me at the same time and they were all in motion. One breh picked up a pool cue and was about to throw that shyt like a javelin. The other cac had smooth threw his glass cup full of liquor in my direction and the Hispanic seal did some combat roll and was charging me


I was :mjcry:

My boot camp homie had to call the dogs off. I was food for real. After that they realized I was supposed to be there it was like a light switch flipped and they acted like that shyt never happened. I was :skip:
Damn! Did you at least get a chance to ball your fists up?

I love Jake Zweigs videos. He had a good one where he discussed his journey to becoming a seal in 1997, and how a brotha who was officer in the navy at the time told him that if he got through SEAL training that he wouldve only been the “X amount” of black men who ever became a SEAL, and that the white boys were taking bets* against him. He has a cool backstory. But besides all that, he always keeps it REAL on how fukked up and racist the SEALs and the military is. Serial killers, hazing, etc. he keeps it really real. No Hollywood “god and country” shyt from Jake Zweig.
can you link some specific videos where he talks about that?

You did the right thing. Balling up your fists might have been seen as an unforgiveable act of aggression.

Above the fray.

Over the course of my time here, I've seen it.
First year or so, thought that there was some inside joke that I wasn't privy to. But came to the realization that it was real when I read multiple members repeating the exact same views, using the exact same words, at the exact same time.

Clearly all parroting the same person.

There is a entire universe of white people who have only consumed military content through the lens of these types of people.... Partially because it's the most sexy realm of military life to talk about. But there is a reason why they've all taken anchor in the space they have.....easy grifting/sponsor opportunities.

Being a stan for the military when you haven't served has always seen off to me
I get it with elementary age kids, 4th grade I was all about Ninjas and all the 80s movies

But that shyt stops once you discover females. Huge red flag for grownups idolizing these dudes, and the PrisonTube ones that charge for life advice
